Obama Obeys the Feminists Again for 02/14/2012

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Proclaiming in a New York Times headline that "Obama Adjusts a Rule Covering Contraceptives," the pro-Obama media tried to dig the president out of the political hole he had jumped into. But calling Obama's revised rule an "adjustment" or an "accommodation" or another soft-sell word can't cover the fact that the revision is essentially the same as the original rule ...

Day of Reckoning for Violence Against Women Act for 02/07/2012

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Feb. 2 on a straight party-line vote. That proves again that the feminists control the Democratic Party, and it's also a refreshing indication that Republicans are no longer intimidated by feminist demands.

VAWA was originally passed by Congress in 1994, with Bill Clinton pushing the law ...

Jan Brewer's Photo With Obama for 01/31/2012

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

The now-famous picture of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer shaking her finger at President Barack Obama is both appropriate and deserved. In America, we don't have rulers entitled to the deference and obsequiousness other countries show to their kings; our elected officials are ordinary citizens whom we are free to criticize.

Obama apparently took offense at the way Gov. Brewer described her meet ...

Unconstitutional Recess Appointments for 01/23/2012

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Barack Obama's latest unconstitutional action is his attempt to make four so-called recess appointments to high-level, well-paying jobs in the federal bureaucracy when the Senate was not in recess. He appointed three people to the National Labor Relations Board, plus Richard Cordray to head the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, even though the Senate had declined to ...

We Need Pro-Family Tax Policies for 01/17/2012

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Why did Sen. Rick Santorum suddenly surge to the status of a leading candidate for the Republican nomination for president after having been treated like a not-to-be-taken-seriously contender in the many television debates? It's not only because a significant segment of conservatives voted by a super majority to back him at a meeting in Houston last week.

It's because Santorum has sensib ...

Bailing out the European Union for 01/10/2012

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

It was bad enough when President Obama bamboozled Congress into passing a stimulus bill that didn't produce any jobs, then increased the federal deficit in the 2012 omnibus spending bill, then raised the debt ceiling, then bailed out the big U.S. banks, then tried to bail out his pal Solyndra in an attempt to save it from bankruptcy, and then appointed a jobs czar who only creates jobs in China ...

Obama Gives Gambling a Christmas Present for 01/03/2012

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Just before sneaking off to Hawaii, where he barred news photos on the golf course, President Obama overturned a longstanding U.S. policy that prohibited Internet gambling. In yet another presidential shenanigan that bypasses U.S. law, Obama used the device of a secret Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel opinion, dated in September and quietly released to the public on Christmas Eve.

Good News From the UN for 12/27/2011

Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800

After spirited discussions from Nov. 28 to Dec. 11 (including two days of overtime that ended only in the wee hours), the United Nations Climate Change conference in Durban, South Africa, failed to achieve its two main goals: producing a new treaty to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which limited greenhouse gas emissions and agreeing on a global tax scheme to finance a Green Climate Fund.

China Celebrates Outwitting U.S. in the WTO for 12/20/2011

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800

This month, communist China is celebrating its 10th anniversary of joining the World Trade Organization. The subtitle ought to be China's 10th anniversary of cheating the United States.

The globalists talked the U.S. into supporting this cozy trade relationship with China by getting American manufacturers and farmers to salivate at the prospect of gaining access to the world's biggest ma ...

We Don't Like the Future We See for 12/13/2011

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800

Americans don't need a fortuneteller to predict our future. We can see the future right before our eyes: Europe. And we don't like it.

Europe, whose economy we so generously subsidized with billions of dollars given by hardworking U.S. taxpayers and whose freedom we repeatedly defended with the blood of our young men, is now a disaster area, financially and culturally. Europe's decline i ...

National Popular Vote Is a Bad Idea for 12/06/2011

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800

Moving quietly under the cover of the presidential debates and the enormous publicity given to the Republican nomination race is a plan to change how U.S. presidents are elected. It would bypass the procedure spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, which has been used successfully for over two centuries.

The Constitution prescribes how we elect our presidents. It is a mirror image of the ...

The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa, opening on Nov. 28, called COP-17, is one of a series of U.N. meetings working toward a specific goal. Advertising for this meeting features a long list of invited celebrities including Angelina Jolie, U2's Bono, Ted Turner, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore and Michael Bloomberg.

Goodbye UNESCO for 11/22/2011

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0800

A trigger provision, buried in U.S. laws since 1990, quietly took effect at the end of October. The U.S. taxpayers' annual donation of 22 percent to the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization's budget was summarily terminated when UNESCO voted 107 to 14 (with 52 abstentions) to approve full membership for Palestine.

The cutoff of U.S. handouts includes not only o ...

Let's Talk About Jobs for 11/15/2011

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0800

We watched a couple more TV presidential candidate debates and, funny thing, again there was little or no mention of what is widely conceded to be the No. 1 issue — jobs. The unemployment figures remain unacceptably high, and the figures for young people are truly shocking.

The general unemployment rate has been 9 percent or higher for the past two-and-a-half years. But in the seco ...

Mexican Trucks Are on Our Roads for 11/08/2011

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0800

After years of negative votes in Congress and the opposition of the American people, on Oct. 21 Barack Obama allowed the first Mexican truck to cross the border at Laredo, Texas, and head north to deliver door-to-door service of its industrial equipment. This was implemented by an agreement quietly signed by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in Mexico City on July 6 with Mexico's secretary of ...

Rick Perry's Marriage Problems for 11/01/2011

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Does Rick Perry want to undermine traditional marriage? This question leaps out from his new 20 percent flat-tax plan, which would eliminate all tax advantages for married couples where one spouse is the primary breadwinner.

For more than 60 years, the federal income tax has treated the family as an economic unit. A husband and wife have the benefit of pooling their income in a joint tax ...

The High Costs of Marriage Absence for 10/25/2011

Most Americans are unaware that about $700 billion a year of federal taxpayers' money is handed out to non-taxpayers who are allegedly below the poverty line (in addition to $250 billion a year given out by the states). After Barack Obama became president, he increased federal welfare spending by a third because, as he promised during his campaign, he wants to "spread the wealth," kno ...

Despite the inordinate quantity of press coverage about next year's presidential election, attention to TV debates and the consuming desire of the media to predict who will win in 2012, the polls show that no candidate in either party is reaching 50 percent of public support.

Meanwhile, the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, conducted jointly by Democrats and Republicans, reports that 7 ...

President Barack Obama, with the help of some Republicans who take their orders from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is trying to pass a bill that will kill U.S. jobs, send more jobs overseas and make more Americans dependent on government handouts. That's the Frances Fox Piven strategy Obama learned at a Socialist Party conference in New York while he was attending Columbia University.

It's a problem for U.S. retailers when Communist China makes fake designer handbags and illegal copies of our music CDs, but it's a much bigger problem when the fakes are chips installed in our military weapons. The American people are starting to discover that counterfeit computer components bought from the Chinese are used in our warplanes, ships and communication networks.
